N=number of nickels
d=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

example
if n:d=3:8
lets say n=3 and d=8
3*8=8*3
so
8n=3d
slightly confusing but go with it, it migh make sense or it might not


n:d=3:8
8n=3d

d:q=4:5
5d=4q

solve for one of them
solve for nickels in first and quarters in second

8n=3d, n=(3/8)d
5d=4q, (4/5)d=q

5n+10d+25q=690
divide by 5 to make it easeir
n+2d+4q=138
sub (3/8)d for n
sub (4/5)d for q
(3/8)d+2d+5(5/4)d=138
(3/8)d+2d+25/4d=138

3/8+2+25/4=
3/8+16/2+50/8=
69/8

(69/8)d=138
times both sides by 8
69d=1104
divide both sides by 69
d=16

16 dimes
sub back

(5/4)d=q
(5/4)16=q
80/4=q
20=q

(3/8)d=n
(3/8)16=n
48/8=n
6=n



6 nickles
16 dimes
20 quarters

Time to paint the living room. The room measures 20 feet wide by 30 feet long by 12
chubhunter [2.5K]

The cost to paint the walls and the ceiling is $855

<h3></h3><h3>How much will it cost?</h3>

First, we need to find the area that will be painted.

The area of two of the walls is:

A = 20ft*12ft = 240ft²

The area of the other two walls:

A' = 30ft*12ft = 360ft²

The area of the ceiling is:

A'' = 20ft*30ft = 600ft²

We also need to subtract the areas of the two doors and the 4 windows.

Each door is 7ft by 3ft, so the area of each door is:

a = 7ft*3ft = 21ft²

Each window is 4ft by 3ft:

a' = 4ft*3ft = 12ft²

Then the total area that will be painted is:

area = 2A + 2A' + A - 2a - 4a'

area = 2*( 240ft²) + 2*(360ft²) + 600ft² - 2*(21ft²) - 4*(12ft²)

area = 1,710 ft²

We know that we need two coats of paint to cover that area, and the cost per square foot of paint is $0.25, then the total cost is:

C = $0.25*2*(1,710) = $855

The cost to paint the walls and the ceiling is $855
